fill function

Remove holes from polygons

Remove the holes in SpatVector polygons. If inverse=TRUE the holes are returned (as polygons). methods

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
fillHoles(x, inverse=FALSE)

Arguments

• x: SpatVector
• inverse: logical. If TRUE the holes are returned as polygons

Returns

SpatVector

Examples

x <- rbind(c(-10,0), c(140,60), c(160,0), c(140,-55))
hole <- rbind(c(80,0), c(105,13), c(120,2), c(105,-13))

z <- rbind(cbind(object=1, part=1, x, hole=0), 
                   cbind(object=1, part=1, hole, hole=1))
colnames(z)[3:4] <- c('x', 'y')
p <- vect(z, "polygons", atts=data.frame(id=1))

f <- fillHoles(p)
g <- fillHoles(p, inverse=TRUE)
